AQo deepstack against a crazy shove

I expect a lot of pocket pairs in his range, so probably fold is a good option (I don´t want to waste my edge in a flip coin). What do you think?

In general i give people low

In general i give people low pocket pairs (22-77) and AQ-AK, in this situation without any readsIf opponent wasnt crazy this would be fold for me this early in the game.

I see weaker Ax hands here

I see weaker Ax hands here enough in lower stakes games (as well as a small % of just total garbage like 65) to make AQ a call.  AJ may even be a call here, it's a lot closer.What I like to suggest you do in these spots to get a much better idea of what range to call with is to find a way to filter for these situations in HEM and look at what people are showing up with when they shove over a PFR this deep.  Then you can truly see what types of hands they are showing up with and really figure out your optimal calling range.
